Your Review

Kevin and I have been at Kings Gate for a couple years. The golf is challenging and I also enjoy the tennis courts. The clubhouse is very nice inside and out (with pretty water views from the pool, tennis courts, the bocce and shuffle board courts). For convenience we frequent the restaurant and bar, it is pretty good plus it's easy to meet up with friends there. We also enjoy hosting dinner parties at our home.
